Do let us know what the vet says is the cause. There is a common misconception that spot cleaning the substrate equates with a clean vivarium. One defecation harbors countless numbers of bacteria. When a snake slithers through or over feces the bacteria are spread all over the substrate. I do spot clean and spray Healthy Habitat on the spot, but also dump all the substrate, usually weekly, and disinfect the containers. However, it is easier for me since I use a rack system and don't have decorations to contend with as in a vivarium.
